A Pitaya or Pitahaya is the fruit of several cactus species, most importantly of the genus Hylocereus (sweet pitayas).These fruit are commonly known as dragon fruit.Hylocereus blooms only at night; the large white fragrant flowers of the typical cactusflower shape are among those called "moonflower" or "Queen of the Night".Sweet pitayas have a creamy pulp and a delicate aroma.I found 1 Hylocereus that was blooming at night. It's very pretty..Ref:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitaya
